Interviews

The first time you attend Housing Options for an interview you will be required to complete a Customer Information Sheet. Use the link below to download the form.

If you are attending our drop-in service for an interview because you are homeless you may need to bring several of the following documents to support your application. You will be advised when you contact us which ones will be relevant to your particular case.

• Birth Certificates for your entire household (especially children)
• Passports
• Photo ID cards
• Evidence of household income
• Home Office letter showing your eligibility to remain in the UK or other documentation showing your status to remain in the UK
• Benefits entitlement, e.g., Child Benefit, Incapacity Benefit (books or bank statements showing the relevant payments)
• Proof of pregnancy (this must be the blue book issued at your anti-natal clinic or a letter from your GP showing your name, date of birth and stating that you are pregnant and the expected date of confinement)
• A copy of any current tenancy agreement
• A copy of any Notice to Quit your accommodation
• Bank Statements and Bills etc if you are claiming debt problems/bankruptcy as the reason for homelessness
• Crime reference numbers or contact details of relevant individuals if you are claiming to be fleeing violence (domestic or otherwise)
• Medical evidence of a claimed priority need on medical grounds (this may be a copyprescription/list of prescription medication or contact details of a GP, CPN or other medical practitioner)
• You may have priority need on a mobility basis and you may need to provide professional contact details so that we can establish how your mobility will be affected in respect of housing.
